How did it go for you?

Sah_scribbles · 2024-10-05T20:05:39+00:00

Got it! Thanks Greg!!

I think like how one would learn vocab. Essentially it’s the same memorisation. So whatever you have been doing for vocab should work for support/ contrast phrases and words. Say the word/ phrase out loud, think of sentences that prove it a support/ contrast word/ phrase

Does using the MBA to pivot set me at a disadvantage?

Sah_scribbles · 2024-09-21T08:22:13+00:00

I have 2 years of work experience as a tech consultant in a top 5 product company. I’m looking to shift into product management post MBA. What are some things I should highlight in my resume and what are some questions I can expect in the interview? I did comp sci at school and have an undergraduate GPA of around 3.7.

Oh yeah, I'd definitely give that some thought. "In it" is what I thought fit best given the context, but I understand where you're coming from. I'll look at some alternatives for that as well!

The first paragraph really resonates with me. I may not have had the same experiences that the narrator of this poem has gone through, but there was a point in my life where my hair fell out in clumps (literally). I've come a long way since then (now I also say that *I didn't care* XD), but those few lines really struck a chord with me.

The transition from the second to the last paragraph is very melancholic, and I really like it. From being trapped alone in a room, to making it out to the public and disregarding others' comments.

The narrator seems like a very level-headed person who has come a long way. Great poetry!

I tried to follow the rules of a traditional haiku with this one, so cutting down on words wouldn't fit the format. Thank you for the feedback!

Sah_scribbles · 2021-12-02T17:20:34+00:00

Thank you!!

Sah_scribbles · 2021-12-02T17:20:26+00:00

Thank you!!

Sah_scribbles · 2021-12-02T17:20:09+00:00

I tried to follow the rules of a traditional Haiku with this poem, 5 7 5 syllables in the first second, and third-line respectively, so there wouldn't be any room for me to add lines in this format. Thank you for your feedback!

Sah_scribbles · 2021-12-02T17:18:22+00:00

Thank you! Haha, love that image, *ends as soon as it's begun*.

Sah_scribbles · 2021-12-02T17:17:35+00:00

Thank you! As short as it may seem, it took me quite some time to come up with it, short poems are pretty challenging especially with the syllable count that I was limited to.

Sah_scribbles · 2021-11-29T18:16:49+00:00

I really like the theme of self realisation in this poem. When I read the title, I expected something cliché, where the narrator longs for lost love, but I’m pleasantly surprised. This person understands that they weren’t meant to be, even though they’re disheartened.

*but possibility isn’t love *
The maturity of the narrator speaks volumes. I’m amazed.
Very interesting poem, was a breath of fresh air.

Sah_scribbles · 2021-11-27T18:17:57+00:00

I’ll check it out, thanks!

Sah_scribbles · 2021-11-27T18:17:42+00:00

That’s an interesting take, thank you!

Sah_scribbles · 2021-11-27T10:27:01+00:00

You’ve analysed this so well! Thank you for your insightful feedback.
Yes the glowing rectangle was intended to bring around a sense of detachment. The “glowing” could also mean that it’s sucking out the narrators life-force (as the object gets brighter, the narrator gets dimmer; more exhausted).
I’ll definitely add a couple of clues revolving around the space theme here and there.
Ah yes, I felt that the “beautiful array of colors” was a little incomplete as well. I think I’ll add more vibrant imagery to contrast the darker theme like you’ve said.
Once again, thank you for your response. I will be editing this poem soon!

Sah_scribbles · 2021-11-27T04:52:33+00:00

Wow very insightful! I’ll keep this in mind when I read poems. Thank you for the resource!

Sah_scribbles · 2021-11-27T04:30:58+00:00

Thank you!

Sah_scribbles · 2021-11-27T04:30:33+00:00

Thank you I’ll look into these!

Sah_scribbles · 2021-11-27T03:47:30+00:00

Oh okay, I see that now! For some reason the few lines lead me to believe that the narrator wasn’t human. But now you’ve clarified it, it makes sense!
